Why google with his TOS don't alow sites related to casino/poker ? I don't talk about a poker site full of banners, no, i am talking about a site like Poker Tips or something like this where to put adsense. Why google allow casino advertisers to show ads on publishers pages?
I guess they just don't want to be associated with addictive/damaging pursuits like gambling (your example), alcohol, illegal drugs or sex. It sets a bad example you know?
Well gambling is legal. But why do they let to advertise via google? If i type poker or casino in a google search, is full of sponsored links.
It's a case of 'do as I say, not as I do'. They're pretty two-faced when it comes to which ads they'll accept and which content they'll allow on their publishers sites. Unfortunately, AdSense is their trainset so you'll just have to accept the rules.
